Darkglass Alpha Omega Preamp Distortion Bass Effect Pedal

New

We strongly recommend using the proper power supply for any pedal. Daisy chain power supplies may not supply enough power when using multiple pedals or introduce noise into the chain. Consult the pedal manual when available for manufacturer recommended power specifications.

The beginning and the end.

This creation differs greatly from our previous preamplifiers and overdrives: it is fully operational amplifier based and has two distinct distortion circuits (Alpha and Omega) which can be selected or blended using our Mod knob. This unusual control, in conjunction with the toggle switches and 3 active band equalizer makes Alpha · Omega the most flexible among our designs.

Blend
Mixes the clean and processed signals. The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine mix tuning.

Level
Sets the volume of the overdriven signal.

Drive
Sets the amount of gain in the overdriven signal.

Bite
Boosts High Mids (2.8kHz) for additional presence and definition.

Growl
Shelving Bass Boost for a fatter tone and increased low end saturation.

Mod
Selects or mixes between the two distinct distortion circuits: Alpha is punchy, tight with a lot of definition, whereas Omega is simply brutal and raw.

Bass
+-12dB @ 80Hz

Mid
+-12dB @ 500Hz
